Oh, I was elsewhere on the internet while responding so I didn't see your post. You are pretty good at spending money like a bitch, too. Hmm, it looks like I forgot the nitrous, and the 89+ TII rims reminds me that his car may have the 4-lug wheels which could be upgraded to the 5-lug standard. I looked into an electric water pump for my 20B, and it's more difficult than it looks, so I think that removal of the engine may actually be required for this. Yes, that should keep him busy for a while.

how's about some free stuff like, Wire the ports open, maybe even remove the sleeves, remove all smog equipment, port the intake, port the TB, do the "TB mod", get rid of the hesitation with some 8ga wire, and weight loss (yeah, i know its lame, but, it works, haha), there is a post on here some where about free mods or something, i forget the link.

Hope this helps.

It all depends on how much money you have to spend... Sounds like you're in the same position I am... Cant really do anything that'll make a difference without spending at least over a grand. Time to start saving for a nice Turbo II.... Or you can take a different route.. I think I'm gonna wait for my engine to blow and do a V8 conversion... Yeah, I know... But its MY car, and I LIKE N/A power. Which is something rotories, as much as I love em, ARENT good at making.. Not for less than around $10k anyway..
